356 Masaru Edmund NakawataseVery hopeful about this step in the development of the American left. Particularly like the positive tension between electoral work and independent community action; hope it can be sustained for the long term reconstruction of this nation.

368 Karen IliffHe is the fresh new person we need running our country and will get us out of the mess the Bush administration made of our country. It's been a long time since we've had anyone with this caliber of intelligence and honesty in power. Last week I was one of the 75,000 people to see him in Portland. Incredible.

387 Michael DoverWhile the mantra of independent political action is one I have long supported, we have seen some of the damage which ill-considered independent actions on behalf of Obama and in other electoral contexts can do. A forum for discussion and well-considered action is valuable, but I have been and plan to continue to be active directly within the campaign and its many sub-groups such as social workers for Obama. I might ad that those of us on the left are also part of the very "old politics" which Obama is trying to move beyond. Somewhere along the way since glasnost, the promised "new thinking" never happened. We too need to re-think the nature of the alternatives to neo-liberalism we put forward, lest they be more or less the same. Also, generationally, young activists are clearly thinking differently about all sorts of things we don't "get", such as the relationship of activism to volunteerism, just to give one example. What is progressive at one point of time is not necessarily progressive at another point of time, since the nature of progressive politics is historically contingent. If radical pragmatism isn't what progressives for Obama want out of President Obama, we should get in for a rude surprise, as I suspect that's what we are going to see, rather than the kinds of prototypical ideologically suggested responses and positions. Pragmatism is never popular, as it gores all sorts of sacred cows.
